Direct and Indirect Air Cooling Systems
Our fresh-air cooling systems—available in both direct and indirect configurations—are engineered to maximise energy efficiency and sustainability by reducing reliance on traditional mechanical cooling methods.
Air Cooled Data Centre Cooling
Direct Air Cooling: This system introduces filtered outdoor air directly into the data centre, effectively reducing cooling energy use. Ideal for environments with clean, mild climates, it allows data centres to benefit from free coolingFree Cooling uses ambient external air to cool data centre environments, minimizing the need for mechanical cooling systems. This energy-efficient approach leverages natural temperature differentials to maintain optimal conditions within the facility. Free cooling can include tec...Learn more with minimal energy input.
Indirect Air Cooling: Indirect systems utilise ambient air to cool data centre air through heat exchangers, ensuring that outdoor air never directly contacts internal equipment. This approach provides high efficiency while protecting sensitive IT infrastructure from external contaminants.
